Greenland? Not By Force Per Senate GOP.

Senate Republicans are vowing to block any effort by President Trump to seize Greenland by military force, as Trump officials on Wednesday refused to back off their demands to control the island during a meeting with top diplomats at the White House.
Republican senators are flummoxed by Trump’s insistence that he’s willing to use military force to seize control of Greenland from Denmark, something they fear will destroy the NATO alliance and give Russia a bigger advantage in its war against Ukraine.
Two Republican senators, Sens. Thom Tillis (N.C.) and Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), plan to travel to Copenhagen on Friday to assure the Danish prime minister that there would be strong Republican opposition to any effort by Trump to use military force to seize Greenland.
“I’m going to remind them that we have co-equal branches of government and I believe that there [is a] sufficient number of members, whether they speak up or not, that are concerned with this,” Tillis said of Trump’s threats. by Alexander Bolton ‘The Hill’
America’s allies are quickly learning they are not allies if they have something we covet. In this case its Greenland, with access to the rapidly melting North Pole and probably a lot of oil reserves. The World order constructed after the 2nd World War seems to be giving way to the whims of the current Administration, toppling decades of precedent and friendship.
